My birthday.

Today was my birthday, I am officially 34 (eek!), and it was a truly great day.  

It started off with Liah waking herself up at 6:30 am  to help Bryan make me breakfast in bed.  For those of you who don't know our little Sleeping Beauty...this was a VERY big deal!.  It was..a schmorgasborg of toast and raspberry jam and raspberry toaster strudels.  Probably one of my favorite breakfasts ever :)

I got the kids off to school...with little to no fuss which was awesome.

I played Memory with my little boys.  I could have totally won, but I didn't.  I'm such a good mom ;)

I blogged about Zerin's birthday (only a week late).

I thought about planning Zerin's birthday party which I realized is supposed to be in 2 days.  I guess I can finish that tomorrow, right?!

I switched up my blog...something I have a hard time taking the time to do when there's SO much else to do, but it was a gift to myself you could say :)  The kiddies watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and I had an enjoyable hour of near guilt-free laziness.  Bliss.

I took my kids to play practice...I am the proud mother of an Oompa-Loompa and a Squirrel!!!!

I got over 70 messages and texts wishing me happy birthday.  Yes, it's true, facebook made me cry :)

Bryan came home and made me one of 3 foods I am constantly craving...spaghetti!  It was so stinkin' good!  I don't think I've been able to eat that much in a single sitting for a long, long time.  TANGENT: I have become a stereotypical pickle-loving pregnant woman.  The other night, I was so sick, I literally ate an entire bowl of pickles.  It settled my tummy enough that I was able to have, you guessed it, ICE CREAM!  I am so weird.  I seriously used to think that those cravings were a joke, and that women just made that up for sympathy.  I think these symptoms of this pregnancy are punishment for my past judgementalness (if that's a word).

Later, we opened presents and ate cake with Bryan's mom.  I got spoiled rotten with a cooshy pumpkin colored blanket that my sweet kids bought me with their own money [Sidenote: their original consensus was to buy me a zhu-zhu pet, but Bryan somehow managed to sway them in the direction of the blanket instead...thankfully! :)]. Bryan got me the most comfortable pajama pants EVER, and the most pretty, foofy body pillows, a new extra-firm bed pillow (yay for hopefully waking up without a headache!).  He knows me so so well!  Bryan's mom gave me a book of primary piano music that is easy enough for me to actually play, but not too easy.  I even played it with her in the house which I never do because I hate playing in front of people that play so much better than me...so that says a lot!  And then we ate cake, which Bryan made, and frosted, and it was goood :)  Bella kept trying to stick her fist in it and couldn't understand why I wouldn't let her...I'm so mean.

So here's to being 34...and here's to my favorite year ever [hopefully!]
